ROTC committee seeks input

I am chairman of an ad hoc committee that was appointed by Dean
for Undergraduate Education Margaret L. A. MacVicar to consider ways to
improve the relationship between MIT and the Reserve Officer Training Corps
programs (ROTC). My committee and I are seeking comments from students,
faculty, and staff.

An objective of my committee is to identify issues of concern to both MIT
and the ROTC units. The committee is charged to resolve issues wherever
possible or to recommend an appropriate path or mechanism for further
action. To date, the committee's work has been to identify issues of mutual
interest to the MIT community and to the ROTC programs. The issues have
great variety, ranging from AIDS testing policies to harassment of MIT
students in uniform.

Students, staff, and faculty who have comments for the MIT-ROTC
Relationship Committee are encouraged to write in confidence to me.
